Yeah!! I felt like I was all by myself. I'm new to the Land Cruiser world... and mine isn't working properly. But I also have a GX470 which I loved so much that I had to get me this one. Let me ask you, are there any mechanics around here you trust? I'm having engine issues and not sure what...

Both look good. Oil is at a good level. When the light first came on, I stopped and put it some more thinking the level was low. If I check it right now, its at full. It never crossed my mind that it might have been the oil pressure. I'm thinking of getting a recording of the noise the engine...

I It's bad. Sounds like there's a train inside my engine... but the train has engine issues as well. Lol. I'm pretty sure I killed it. My next question was going to be if anyone can help swapping in a rebuilt engine, but just found a used 1994 LC in Tennessee with a good engine in transmission...

Hey guys! I bought an 80 series and on my way home the oil light came on several times. It had oil, but I'm not sure if the oil pump was working properly. It was a 30 minute drive and now the engine has an awful sound it wasn't making before. It still starts and runs, but I don't feel like...

80 Series Land Cruiser - Located in NW Georgia (Calhoun/Dalton): 24 pack of beer - Third row of seats. Grey leather. Came with the LC when I bought it, but mine doesn't have the frame to where it attaches from what I've seen on pictures 12 pack of beer - Rear bumper. I only ask you help me get...

Thanks for sharing! Looks great!

Bought it to build as an off-road / overlanding rig but I already have too many projects (a Jeep, a GX470, and a Miata). It has 333K miles. I understand it has been in the south its whole life (no rust on frame). I am no expert but from the little I know, here is the good and the bad. The good...

Nice! Looks super clean. I'll take one ;) PayPal? Venmo? 😂😂

Thank you all for the feedback. After reading these comments seems like I'll give up and stick to the GX transfer case. Thanks y'all!

Looking for a GX470 Transfer Case. Ideally in the East Coast. Located in Georgia. Mine was leaking through the actuator and it seems I took to long to fill it up again so gettings pops/clunks from it (I guess its dying soon). Thanks!

Sooo.. will it fit or not? Anybody tried? I have an 03 GX and need to replace my transfer case ASAP. Thanks!!

I asked for these but they told me at Toyota that they dont sell them individually. I already have the OEM gaskets. Do you think it will be ok to run the Felpro tube seals? Or should I try returning the OEM gaskets and get the Felpro kit to keep it uniform?

Hey guys, Valve covers on my 2003 GX are leaking BAD. bought it about a month ago with 178k miles. I will go ahead and try to tackle this myself. Wanted to see what else should I do once I'm there. So far my plans are to change the gaskets, spark plugs and PCV valve. I have bought all of these...

Thanks for the answers. I bought it, removed the plastic engine cover and surprise, I'm in bad need of new valve cover gaskets. I've read some people suggest re-torquing the screws but I'm just going to play it safe and replace them with OEM new ones. While I'm in there, anything else you guys...

Hey guys. I'm 98% ready to buy my 2003 GX. It has 177k miles. Maintenance records are pretty up to date and the timing belt was done at 94k miles. Its almost about time for the next one so I'll make sure I cover all my bases when it comes to that one. I'm not as experienced so I decide it to...
